i need 2 96+ M3 upper spring plates. i am (was) in the process of putting in 96+ M3 springs with the offset upper strut mounts. well i bought the 96+ upper and lower rubber pads but i did not buy the upper spring plates. dealer doesnt have any and neither does I-35 Imports. anyone have any laying around. the car is on jackstands in the garage right now. this job would have taken 1.5 hours if this didnt happen.

:help

NO!

i just got off the phone with JCBMW. 2 days and they will have some for me. the CCA discount isn't bad either. i just hope he heard me say i need 2.

i think i probably have two in my shed. i'll look if you're interested. I also have two 96+ upper strut mounts that can be reversed for more camber if desired.

i have the 96+ strut mounts i just need the hats. if you have them i would drive to you ASAP to pick them up... even tonight with money. :) i ordered 2 from JCBMW (i think), but i dont know if the guy heard me say 2 because when he told me the total he said it was only like ~$10.00. i called back and they didnt pick up.

Getting ahold of JCBMW is a major pain in the ass. I end up giving up and driving the 30 minute trip up there.
